Biography[]
Early life[]
Fabry attended and graduated from the W. Page Pitt School of Journalism at Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia. After his 1982 graduation, Chris and his wife felt a desire for biblical education, so his pastor suggested they check out Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. At Moody, Chris met Jerry Jenkins, who learned of his desire to write and encouraged him to pursue his dream.
In 1985, Chris began hosting Open Line, a national call-in show which he hosted until 1997. In 1993 he began a six-year stint as co-host of Mornings with Greg and Chris on WMBI in Chicago. Then in May of 2008 he began Chris Fabry Live, which received the 2008 Talk Personality of the Year Award from the National Religious Broadcasters. He can also be heard daily on Love Worth Finding, featuring the teaching of the late Dr. Adrian Rogers, and weekly on Building Relationships with Dr. Gary Chapman, which he co-hosts with his wife, Andrea. In October of 2008, after a lengthy time of illness for their family, the Fabrys vacated their home in Colorado due to a toxic mold problem. They left everything behind, moving to Tucson, Arizona, in early 2009 to seek medical help. Chris and Andrea were married in 1982 and are the parents of nine children.
